Same customer and vendor number

Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this question, but I'll give it a try......
We are using BP and want to use same number for both customer and vendor. How can we achieve this?

The synchronisation is not available in ECC 500.
FS-BP has a synchronisation solution based on call transaction in batch-input. It should be part of the core.
But I don't know if there was a solution to synchronize the numbers without modification.
Anyway you can implement a BAdI in the customer master transaction to use your own numbers (CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA)
BUT make sure the customer/vendor number will be linked to the correct address
The saving process of the address is trigerred independantly (before or after the customer/vendor transaction is commited). As a result it is very easy to create orphaned address and loss of data accuracy for the vendor/customer.

Hi All
I have a scenerio where same BP is both my customer and vendor . I make purchases and sales both with the same. I want to have single account for the BP ie All transactions should reflect in the same BP card. How can I achieve this thing in SAP B1.

Find Free Number Ranges of Customer and Vendor Accounts

Hi,
We have a requirement where we want to report to customer the free numbers present in customer and Vendor Accounts Groups.
To solve this, I went through XKN1 and XDN1, where I go the current number for each Vendor and Customer Account Group.
But the customer is having a strange requirement. They want to know, the free numbers available in these customer range.
Please see the attached doc for the requirement and the solution which has been given.
Please let me know, how to find the free numbers available in SAP system.
Regards,
Devdatth

Hello Devdath,
You can go to table KNA1. In the selection criteria, give the number range for each Account group and click on Number of entries.
This will give you the number of customers created for that account group. SUbtract this number from the total number to get the Balance.
Note: This is for the number ranges which are externally defined.
For internally defined number ranges, you can simply go to XDN1 and get the balance.
Similarly for Vendors, use table LFA1
I hope this is what you needed.

Bpartner - Link between customer and vendor if its the same face

Hello
As I understood the primary idea to keep all business partners together is to make a link between differant roles of the same partner (like link customer and vendor if its the same face). Please correct me if I am wrong.
The questions is : how this link is done in CRM (how the customer is linked to vendor if its the same face).

Can Business Partner number and Vendor Number, Plant Numbe be same in SRM ?

Hi Experts,
We are configuring SRM7.0 with ECC6 ( Ehp4) having Classic Scenario .
I configured sandbox, and everything working fine.
I have one query. The Business Partner Number and the Vendor Code or Plant code are different. So while entewring the Location key in Shopping cart we need to enter BP code, by drilldown ( In drilldown we can see ECC Vendor Plant number).
Its no big problem,.
Can anyone suggest whether it is possible to have both Unique or exactly same , so no need to remeber both code or see in drilldown.
Thanks
NAP

Hi Narendra
Location - BP can be different only since plant assign always internal BP number only so BP number and plant number can not be same.
but Vendor you have two options .
External Number - if you were selected BP and Vendor number will be remain same.
Internal Number - if you were selected BP and Vendor number will be different.
visit BUCF tcode for Internal and External BP number configuration.
See our Mentor Ricardo detail explanations
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/ECCPlantorLocationnumberisnotdisplayedinShoppingCart
All the associated parties which are used in the SRM environment (like location, recipient and supplier) are modelled as business partners.
Due to this fact the user interface displays the business partner numbers in a uniform manner, as the business partners are the technical representation of the involved parties.
In order to give the user a better idea which business partners are shown by the numbers, a little text is displayed next to the corresponding field (e.g. 11147 - Werk Hamburg).
When ERP plants are replicated to SRM system, plant numbers are converted into business partners and a new ID is assumed.

Customer and Vendor are same

Hi All,
We have a scenario where vendor is also a customer.
i have entered customer in vendor master and vice versa.
And also i have clearing with vendor in customer master and vice versa.
But i have posted an entry
Posting key 21-vendor
posting key 50-revenue
but i am unable to see the open item in FBL1N and FBL5N by selecting the customer items and vendor items respectively instead of normal items,
Did i miss anything?
Thanks!
Rajesh

hii
It is but obvious that it will not show in FBL5N as it is customer balances.
u have posted a vendor transaction so in FBL1N u will be able to see.
the logic is to clear the open item and present a summeried balance whether to take or pay..
but the proecedure is in both the master books say customer and vendor its appearing as a seperate entitiy with sepearate numbers.
so it has seperate balances too when taken as a customer and vendor. in this it will not show u balance in customer balance.
but when u try to clear the open items at that time it will reflect the total means what is to be pain and wht has to be collected &(-) get adjusted and u need to make payment or collect the balancing amount.
this is the logic for the configuration u made. so system is behaving in right manner.
please assign points if helpful.

Business partner as customer and vendor

Hi,
I am trying to process an variable interest rate instrument wherein we need to create a single BP for both customer and vendor.
The FI customer and FI vendor has the same number( external) in our system.
I have done the required CVI settings and system does automatically create the customer as BP or vendor as BP, DEPENDING upon which master data is set up first in FI.
I do not see both vendor and customer as integrated in BP under the same Co.code, though individually it works.
. Our requirement is to create one BP for both the Vendor and Customer.
Please let me know what i am missing here.
Thanks,
Vamsi

Hello,
What did you customize in the synchronization options?

F.13 for Customer and vendor

Hi,
Like GRIR clearing accounts can the Customer and vendors also automatically cleared? I have seen option in F.13. How is it possible to clear vendor and customer. I understand we made them in OB74 but how, i am confused about clearing criteria. What should i give in it.

Dear:
         For customer or vendor clearing it is mandatory to have full payment . For customers you will need full recovery against invoice for automatic invoice RV clearance against its corresponding Payment DZ. Eg.
Doc type      Assignment No         Amount
RV               1701                         25000
DZ               1701                         25000
It will clear the customer invoice against payment based on the assignment number. For this you should book payment with reference to invoice number that is copied from SD using VTFA . Same rules applies for vendors clearance . Hope it will help you.
Regards

How to handle BP who is both Customer and Vendor during history import?

Hi Forum,
This is for importing Financial transactions for Open Sales Orders, Open Sales Invoices, Open Purchase Orders and Open Purchase Invoices and also for importing history for all Closed Sales Orders, Invoices, Purchase Orders and Invoices.
Our prospect has in their current system Business Partners who are both Customers and Suppliers (Vendors). In SAP Business ONE, BP is unique. It is recommended I believe in situation where BP is both Customer and Vendor, we need to create two BP Ids.
Question?
How do we import open and history of invoices in this situation where the same BP is both Customer and Vendor? Any tips would help please.
Thank you all very much.

Hi Syed,
As Gordon and Rahul said, it is painful for you if you import closed transactions.
Try to compromise your client that to use the old system for last year/old reports.
Its always good practice to import the Opening balance and even the open documents only.
If you have partially open items, then import the document for open quantities only.
Let's say, if you have a sale order with an item of 100 Qty. Among that 100 qty, lets 20 qty has been already delivered then you have to create the sale order in SAP for remaining 80 qty only.

Bala

Can we please tell me where i have to maintain the settings so that i can get the balances of customers and vendors Profit Center Wise

Hello,
Unless you are on New GL with document splitting functionality, no items on vendor and customer will be posted with Profit Center.
You run 1KEK periodically to transfer the receivables and payables to PCA.

Program for customer and vendor master

Hi All,
I am working with ale-idocs. could you plese tell me the program name for transferring the customer and vendor master data.
thanks in adavance,
Sugeet.

Hi Sugeet,
You can transfer the Customer/Vendor master data by activating change pointers or by using RBDSEDEB/RBDSECRE programs manually by giving the customer or vendor number. But for both the methods you need to configure the partner profile settings.

BP which is both a customer and vendor

I have a BP which is both a customer and vendor. The BP owe us USD262.50, so now I want to do a offset by paying only the balance of 1897.50. How do I create this entry? Thanks.

In SAP you cannot have the same BP as the Vendor and also the Customer. You would need two seperate BP's. But if it a one time thing as explained earlier you may use a JE. Or you may directly go to Incoming / Outgoing Payment and make / receive payment either from Vendor / Customer.
Best wishes

Clearing between customer and vendor invoice with F110 transaction

Hello,
I have an issue related to the functionalities of the transaction F110.
I'd like to clear the vendor invoice with the custome invoice.
Customer and vendor records are linked properly and the flag 'Clrg with Cust.' is set on vendor and 'Clearing with Vendor' is set on customer.
Both the invoice are in USD and the amount in document currency of the vendor invoice is > of the amount in document currency of the customer invoice.
I entered in both the invoice the same payment method (outgoing payment method).
The error that I can see in the proposal log is related to the customer invoice and is:
Payment method selection for items due now to the amount of USD 500,00
Due items with currency USD, pmnt method - items total is > 0
..none of the payment methods defined can be used for these items
information re. vendor xxxxxxxx / customer yyyyyyy / paying company code TS01 ...
.. payment not possible because of reported error
According to the log of the proposal the vendor invoice can be paid.
If I click on display proposal and double click on the customer invoice (with red light) I can read the note:
No pymt possible because items with a debit
Following the settings of the payment method used:
Payment method in the country
- Payment method for outgoing payment selected
- Bank transf. selected
- allowed for personal payment flagged
- Bank details flagged
- Document type for payment XX
- clearing document type XX
- Use classic payment medium program selected
Currency allowed: This table is empty (will mean that all currencies are permitted)
Payment method in company code
Minimum amount: 0,01
Maximum amount: 9.999.999.999,99
Distribution amnt: 0,00
Single paymentfor marked item selected
Foreign business partner allowed selected
foreign currency allowed selected
Cust/vend bank abroad allowed? selected
Bank selection control "No optimization" selected
Can you please help me to understand the error?
I'm afraid it is a problem with the bank but I don't understand why the payment of the vendor invoice is allowed and the customer invoice not.
Thank you very much in advance
